Thank you all for your response and info!
@BoredSysAdmin....I'm located in the states. I've listened to several brands (b&w, revel, martin Logan, etc). My ears like the Monitor Audio equivalents. Although I really liked Revel I don't want glossy speakers.
I'd say the listening distance is about 8 ft. The Room is approx 21 ft wide and 14 feet deep. I don't anticipate any issues with ohms as my my current speakers were actually measured at 4ohms here at Audioholics. I've never had any issues. Avr not hot at all. Maybe that means I don't really listen at high enough levels.
Yes. A crossover is used with sub when I'm watching movies.
I think the next step is bring my avr down to the audio shop and test with those speakers.
Thanks!!
